New Age Dental Care

I had my braces as an adult. Its been some years since I've been here, but I wanted to make known my bad experience with this place. Dr. Kardaris tries to be an orthodontist, and shes not. She sold me these contraptions to put in my mouth because she said before getting braces I needed these cause my mouth is not wide, then she planned on selling me braces, then invisalign. She has no clue what shes doing. I couldn't even eat right with these permanent contraptions in my mouth. She doesn't know how to do braces, she only changed my bands and never my wires. I went and got a 2nd opinion one day and he immediately took the contraption out of my mouth and said theres no reason for you to have this. My teeth didn't move at all the whole 9 mos I had braces with her cause she never changed the wires. He also said she used the cheapest materials, so I decided to end services here and go to this new guy. He completely redid all of her work. Also it was completely painful everytime my bands were changed here and it took an hour or more. At my new orthodontist it was a piece of cake, no pain and only 10 minutes! I had paid her up front and my new orthodontist fought for me to get my money back, and he did get her to give me the majority of it so obviously she knew she was wrong. This guy even charged me about a 1/4th of the price as Dr. Kardaris did. Due to him having to correct her mistakes I had to wear braces nearly double the time I would've had to if I had just went to him 1st and I didn't need invisalign after the braces. Getting cleanings here was even awful complete pain and bleeding, but I do not experience this at my new dentist. She also pulled a tooth of mine and broke it in the process and had to basically dig the rest out, real nice. This office is a joke. No experience and tries to sell you everything you don't need! more

During my visit at New Age Dental Care, I was scared to get a shot. And thenn they called my name. I didn't want to got. But I had to. When they sat me down in the chair I kinda freaked. But they asked me if they could try without the shot and I said yes. So that's what they did. I didn't feel one thing. But every now and then I did. But I got through it. :) And now I don't need to get put to sleep! :) more

Today I get dental care only because of Dr. Kardaris. To have someone as caring and show such compassion is wonderful to have and such a blessing! I had really bad nerves and feared going to the dentist and getting work done. Now I don't have a problem at all!! Dr. Kardaris and her staff make me feel so relaxed by taking the time to explain everything they will be doing durring the treatment before they even get started. They made sure I understood what was happending and consistantly asked how I was doing and how I was feeling during the treatment. It was so nice having all my work done under one roof as well. Thank goodness for Dr. Kardaris!!! more

I was there getting a tooth pulled and I have very high anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. To be honest I hate it! haha So I checked this place out for the first time and am beyond happy with the results. The front desk was so sweet and helpful!! The assistant brought me to the back and satwith me and talked while we waited for the doctor. She was very sweet and made me feel relaxed. Then the doctor came in and explained my xrays to me and told me exactly what needed to be done. They gave me options to make me more comfortable and even gave me headphones with music to drown out the noise of the procedure. It was great! I just wanted to share this with everyone, and anyone who's nervous about going to the dentist. New Age is great and I will for sure without a doubt go back for any future work. Thank You!! --Casey more

Head for the hills! I was aghast at this place's billing and sales practices. First things first – 4 ½ hours to have a cleaning and a few cavities filled. I was there so long that my novocaine had to be done twice, since the procedure was stopped half way through for seemingly no good reason. When you walk into this dental office, they present you with the typical list of papers and demand that you pay up front. This should have been a red alert to me, as only shoddy workmen tend to insist on payment up front. I was presented with a “Treatment Plan” that included a host of procedures that I did not consent to, nor did I ask about. I rejected all but the cavity fillings and was given their rate and the rate that my insurance was willing to contribute. After looking it over I paid the sum that was due from me. Once the cleaning/treatment started, I seriously felt like I was in an hour long infomercial. They tried to sell me a $120 toothbrush, a $400/year retainer service, and some other nonsense that I simply didn’t pay attention to. After this unbelievable display of salesmanship, I was taken to have my cavities filled. This process was a nightmare for the reasons already stated. After the procedure, I was done, or so I thought. First, it took a solid 10 minutes (making the trip take 4 hrs and 40 minutes) for them to get their paperwork done. When their paperwork was completed, they informed me that I had to be billed again because they had a “system error” that missed 50% of the bill (another $170 lost and gone). Note also that they botched the estimated insurance contribution, so that is going to end up costing me another $261.20 (over 50% off this time). I’m also really appreciating the fact that she uses expensive composite color matching filling to fill in cavities that are all the way in the back of your mouth that are impossible to see without x-rays and mirrors. Even more, I appreciate the fact that she doesn’t tell you that she is using that composite material and that there are alternatives that cost ¼ the amount. Unless you’re into predictably bad service that is outlandishly expensive, I would encourage you to stay far, far away. more
